Demand Response Solutions for Ontario Businesses
Ontario Power Authority’s Demand Response 3 (DR3) Program
The Ontario Power Authority (OPA) has initiated ambitious goals for reducing strain on the electricity grid. Through the OPA DR3 program, Ontario’s commercial and industrial businesses can generate revenue by participating in the solution.
Through OPA DR3, your business can receive monthly financial incentives for contributing to OPA’s electricity consumption reduction goals. Because there’s no cost to enroll or participate, the DR 3 program offers a valuable way to generate revenue, improve your operational efficiency and support Ontario’s future.
OPA has selected Direct Energy Business to provide aggregation services for DR3. We designed our program to provide the greatest value to participating businesses, including:
- Elimination of risk. As your aggregator, we will absorb the OPA’s financial penalties associated with any shortfalls to your curtailment commitment.
- Cost-effective program management. By pooling your Demand Response resources with those of other businesses in the region, we assume complex program management activities and maximize your program payments. We will facilitate enrollment, curtailment notification, event oversight, and settlement and payment distribution.
- Streamlined curtailment notification. Leveraging a 24/7/365 Remote Operating Center, we’ll notify your designated personnel of pending curtailment events, with choices for automatic notification by e-mail, direct telephone, or fax.
We’re here to purchase your expendible electricity. We’ll help you plan and implement your facility’s Demand Response program. Contact us today to learn more.
